Rodeo cancelled, Parade still on track

Old bridge comes down Demolition and removal of Spences Bridge’s old bridge (1930) over the Thompson River began in January after protests, rallies and petitions by local residents failed to sway the decision by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure who deemed the old bridge to be a safety hazard. The old bridge provided a short cut through town to houses, businesses and facilities on the other side of the river. The only way across the river now is the Hwy 1 bridge that was built in the 1960s. It connects to Hwy 8 at the south end of town. The photo below of the intact bridge was taken in 2009.

The Ashcroft Rodeo and Dance has been cancelled for 2015, but organizers promise to be back next year; the Parade is still going ahead as usual on June 20. Organizers of the rodeo are looking for a new rodeo grounds after being notified earlier this year by the property’s owners that they could no longer use the current rodeo grounds because of insurance issues. “We are deeply appreciative of the Desert Hills Ranch and the McKay/ Porter family for their years of support and their generosity to the rodeo in the use of their land as well as their offer to help us move when we find a new place,” said a statement from the Ashcroft Rodeo Association and the Ashcroft Rodeo Parade committee. “We do not blame the Desert Hills owners regarding their decision to not hold the Ashcroft Rodeo on their land any longer. If we were in their position, each of us would probably have made the same decision. We must look positively toward the future. The Ashcroft Rodeo is not dead....It’s just on a break for a year to find a new place to locate.” Bob Sidwell, president of the Association, says they’ve received offers of land around the area, but they want to keep the rodeo in Ashcroft. This week the Association approached the Village of Ashcroft about the possibility of land on the mesa. Association and committee members will make their pitch for land at a committee of the whole meeting of Ashcroft Council on March 23 where they invite all of their supporters to attend. The meeting starts at 6 pm in the Village Office. Sidwell says the BC Rodeo Association has assured them that Ashcroft’s Rodeo weekend date will be reserved for Ashcroft in 2016. He says it’s time for everyone to move forward. “We’ll have a hell of a moving party,” once the new grounds are found, and next year’s rodeo will be bigger and better. “The 2015 Ashcroft Rodeo Parade will still be taking place,” continued the joing statement. “We have been assured that many of the usual parade entries will be returning for 2015, even if the rodeo cannot take place. The parade committee does not want Ashcroft to lose out completely on their largest special weekend of the year. Therefore, June 20, 2015 will be a spectacular day in Ashcroft!”

March 3 RCMP warn that there is a new telephone scam in the area involving scammers who call themselves the “RCMP Fraud Squad”. The caller informs the victim that their computer may be compromised and requires $50 to analyze the computer. The victim transfers the money to them electronically and gives access to the computer. The scammer finds a problem with the computer and wants another $450 to fix it. By then they have access to everything on the computer, including the victim’s financial and personal information. RCMP remind the public that it does not offer a computer repair service, and the public should not provide personal information or give computer access to anyone calling

MP applauds proposed Veterans benefits Ottawa- Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP, Mark Strahl applauded an announcement by the Honourable Erin O’Toole, Minister of Veterans Affairs to create a new lifetime benefit for Veterans. The Retirement Income Security Benefit (RISB) would provide a monthly income support payment for moderately to severely disabled Veterans after the age of 65. “The Retirement Income Security Benefit represents our Government’s continued efforts to ensure Veterans and their families receive the lifelong support and services they need,” said Strahl. The RISB would begin at age 65 when the Earnings Loss Benefit upon which many

moderately to severely disabled Veterans rely ends. It would ensure that an eligible Veteran’s total income after the age of 65 is at least 70 per cent of what she or he received in financial benefits from Veterans Affairs. Monthly payments would be calculated on a case-bycase basis, taking into account how much the Veteran was receiving before age 65 and other sources of income he or she may have beyond the age of 65. Speaking to the announcement of the creation of a new lifetime benefit for Veterans, Guy Parent, Canada’s Veterans Ombudsman said, “The Retirement Income Security Benefit meets the intent of my

recommendation to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs on the most urgent New Veterans Charter shortcoming: after age 65 financial support. I congratulate the Minister of Veterans Affairs for his leadership on this issue and I encourage all parliamentarians to pass this new pension benefit without delay.” Minister O’Toole, recognizing the complexity of financial benefits available for moderately to severely disable Veterans pledged, as part of a continued commitment to Veteran-centric care, to examine ways to combine new and existing supports into a single monthly pension for Veterans.

Loss of post office notice board upsets residents The loss of Cache Creek’s main bulletin board over a month ago has caused enough of a stir in town, as well as a flap on Facebook, to prompt a letter to Canada Post from Mayor John Ranta. “I was surprised and disappointed with Canada Post’s decision to remove all postings on a vacant wall at the post office,” he wrote to C.P. supervisor Rob Klarich in Kamloops. “This wall has come to represent the community’s information source for local events, public notifications and even obituary notices.” The town’s favourite notice board, which had been in service for longer than most locals could recall, was suddenly stripped bare early in February after a visiting Canada Post trainer pointed out to staff that the notice board was against the company’s policies, which allowed only paid advertising to be posted. “The citizens of Cache Creek had come to depend on this board for information that is important to them, and as a meeting place to discuss local issues, a vital part of a small community’s lifetyle,” wrote Ranta. “Many seniors, especially those without computers, depend on this board as their only source of community information.” Village staff are now prohibited, along with everyone else, from posting their Council meeting notices there. “Ridiculous!” posted Facebook

user S.P. “It’s a place where everyone goes for information.” “I am upset at this as well,” said L.M. “And I do not think it is as easy as simply finding somewhere else. The post office is where people walk to, drive to for a purpose and then, since they are there, a community bulletin board helps to further connect people and our town.” “The post office is the one place everybody in the community goes. It’s our post office. It is a hub of information for events in the community. This needs to be revisited by the post office,” said B.M. There are several other places around town where notices can be posted, but none as central or as popular at the Post Office. “I would request that you reconsider the decision to remove all public postings at the post office so that the citizens of Cache Creek can again enoy the benefits of gathering and sharing information in the community,” concluded Ranta’s letter. “I recognize the decision may have been consistent with Canada Post rules, but certainly it is not a decision that has been made in the public interest.” “I don’t get it,” said J.C. “Talk about not supporting the rural communities.” The area that was used to post notices on is now empty corkboard. Ranta’s letter was sent just over two weeks ago and has receive no reply from Canada Post.

Poster contest winner Glen Joss, of the Royal Canadian Legion, presented Ashcroft Elementary School grade 4 student, Bailey Pollard, with a certificate and cheque. Bailey won second place in their Remembrance Day poster contest for the Ashcroft Legion’s zone.

Soap Box Derby planned for July 1 Soap Box Derbies are still in popular demand in some parts of the world, and Cache Creek Activities Programmer Marcie Down is hoping that Cache Creek will be one of them. Down made a pitch to Cache Creek Council

Staying in rhythm Members of Cache Creek Elementary School’s “Passport” drum ensemble get their groove on while practicing under the tutelage of teacher David Dumont. The group is made up of about 20 students. They performed at last year’s Christmas events and have plans for more performances in the future.

at the March 9 meeting to add a soap box race to the Canada Day activities in town. “We need to do something different for Canada Day,” she said. A one time a popular event with a parade, an appointed king and queen, bingo, other games and activities, Canada Day celebrations in Cache Creek for the past two years have included little more than a family dance at the community hall. “That’s very ambitious,” replied Mayor John Ranta to her plans. “I don’t want to jeopardize any enthusiasm for the event, but it would take a significant commitment from the youth and their parents, and investment for wheels and such.” He noted that the suggested course - a pathway down the hill overlooking the community part - is very rough and not very long. He also wondered if they could stir up enough interest to make it a success. Down said she had been talking to a woman who helped organize Clinton’s soap box races a few years ago. She said she was hoping to attract Clinton’s soap box racers as well as tempt some new ones in Cache Creek. “I actually raced soap boxes as a child in Ashcroft,” admitted Coun. Wyatt McMurray, who now owns several A&W restaurants, flies airplanes and helicopters and races cars. “I think we can get the numbers,” said Coun. David Dubois. Down said she would be making up different categories and calling for an early registration in June. There would also be safety testing of the soap boxes to make sure they could turn and brake and wouldn’t in any way injure their driver. Down said she wanted to try and increase the activities in the park this year so that people could have a variety of things to do.

Community spirit shines in its events Major events come and go due to many reasons, most often lack of popularity or volunteer burnout. It’s a sad fact of volunteer-run events. What’s even sadder is when a popular and well-run event is forced to cancel because of circumstances beyond its control. The Ashcroft & District Rodeo has been galloping along for over 50 years, through rain or shine. And with it, the rodeo parade. Rodeos may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but you have to admit, Ashcroft rocks on rodeo weekend with people everywhere. And most of the local businesses are able to count on a few extra dollars. Kudos to the Rodeo Association for not giving up and wish them all the luck in the world for using this time to find new grounds. Our community events cast pebbles further than we may give them credit for. Well run events like rodeos, show ‘n shines, fall fairs and music festivals let visitors take away a positive attitude towards our towns. Instead of “Oh, that desolate little dustball in the middle of nowhere,” they think: “We had awesome fun there at (insert event name). We’re going again next year. Wanna come?” It’s a branding of its own that can’t be bought. Whenever our names are mentioned in provincial News, regardless of whether it’s healthcare or other services, education or building industry here, people associate the name of our town with a positive experience and take an interest in what happens here. Volunteers know that it takes a few years for an event to become established in a community. That a few years of hard work and resisting the impulse to give up when it seems like no one is interested. Even then, some years it still feels like the event has taken two steps back as circumstances bring about changes. It’s a credit to our communities and the stamina of our volunteers that they always seem to bounce back, better than ever. This hiatus is a chance for the community to show its support for the Rodeo Association and help them find a new home in time for the 2016 Ashcroft Rodeo.

AN OLD FAMILIAR FACE AT A CACHE CREEK GARAGE VICTORIA – B.C.’s new seniors’ advocate has issued her second report, and the media mostly ignored it. When this new office was promised by a campaigning Premier Christy Clark two years ago, I suggested that B.C. already has 85 seniors’ advocates. They’re called MLAs, and inquiries go to their local offices. Much to the chagrin of the opposition, Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie’s mandate is not to pursue individual cases, and so she won’t be serving up a fresh assortment of horror stories to embarrass the government. Instead, it is to look for “systemic challenges” and recommend ways to deal with them. The latest report is based on a survey of more than 500 seniors from around the province, and the key finding was not what she expected. “We were surprised to learn of the lack of awareness among seniors, particularly low-income seniors, of government programs and the subsidies available to assist them,” Mackenzie said. The survey found that 60 per cent of seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan premiums. For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premiums is waived. Other frequently overlooked programs are a monthly rent subsidy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for disability modifications called Home Adaptations for Independence, drug cost assistance

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear editor The Board of Education stopped to pause and remember the contributions of former School Trustee and Superintendent Jim Despot at our meeting in Lytton on March 3. The impact of his life was evident by the hundreds of family, friends, and colleagues who attended the memorial service held in Kamloops last week. Jim Despot served in a number of key roles in his career with School District 30 which later become School District 74. Characterized by warmth, caring, common sense, and inspiration, Jim’s many contributions will be alive for years to come in local schools, communities and beyond. Warmest regards and deepest sympathy to his family and friends. On behalf of the Board of Education Carmen B. Ranta, Valerie Adrian Co-Chairs, Board of Education, Gold Trail School District 74

First Shift has been a great hockey program for local kids

Dear editor It’s been a couple of weeks now since our son and about 35 others kids played a brief scrimmage during the second intermission of the Kamloops Blazers game against the Vancouver Giants. For the kids, their scrimmage was the final event for this-year’s First Shift program sponsored by Bauer and Hockey Canada, and organized by our local Thompson Cariboo Minor Hockey Association. First Shift has been a great program for local youth, providing a non-competitive means for kids to improve skating and hockey skills.

FROM THE CENTRE

work at the copper mine in Greenwood and then at the hydro-electric dam near Chetwynd, where he worked there until he had to be hospitalised. Eventually they moved to Kamloops, and lived there until he passed away in1984. Kevin was born at Big Creek and lived there until his parents bought a farm near Salmon Arm. He quit school early to work in a small sawmill, and after a while left home to work in construction and road building. Of all the places he visited while working around BC, he says he best liked the Chilcotin Country where he was born. Muriel tells how one day after they had met, Kevin invited her to meet his mother in Salmon Arm. She agreed, and off they went. The next weekend she was to visit her mother in Ashcroft, so she invited him along. They married and lived in Vernon for a time. When Muriel’s mother died, they bought her property in Ashcroft and moved into it in 1992. As Muriel says,” Life has a habit of turning us around every once in a while, so I’m now waiting for the next turn of events!”

Eight ladies attended the United Church Women’s meeting on March 3 at 2 pm in Zion United Church Hall. President Reta Robertson welcomed everyone and thanked them for attending. Phyllis Gray lead the Devotional with a reading from the book A Diary of Daily Devotions by G.M. Morrison and H.W. Vaughan. The theme was based on the 23rd Psalm, the message being that Christ is the Good Shepherd and how we can never drift beyond God’s love and care. She closed with prayer. Next was the approval of the agenda and last meeting’s minutes. Old Business was discussed – The

Setting goals, taking a challenge I’m always looking for ways to motivate people, so I created a challenge within the Desert Hills Tri Club in February. The challenge was to walk or run as many kilometres as you can in the month of February. All outside, and all accountable using a website called Strava. Strava hosts the run challenge and the people who would enter would have their daily runs/walks for all to see in the Club on a day to day basis so we could follow along to see who had the most mileage. The winner of the challenge would receive a $100 gift card to Runners Sole in Kamloops. Two weeks into the challenge, it was clear that one of two people was going to win: either Donna Close, or Tami Jones. In the end, the winner was Donna. Donna ended up putting in 478kms. That’s 17km/day. Tami came in second in the club’s challenge with an equally impressive 300kms. The February run challenge is on Strava every month of the year. For February there were 66,000 people from around the world signed up. Donna came in 8th overall in Canada, and first female in Canada. She was 198th overall in the world, and 17th female in the world. This is amazing!! Kudos to her. Donna starting running in high school doing cross country running mostly for general fitness. She has raced some local 10k’s including Boogie The Bridge, but her biggest was “The Great Walk”. The Great Walk is a 63km run from Gold River to Tahsis with 1,200 participants. Once Donna starting putting in the long days running for February’s challenge, her body and feet were taking its

tractions. Donna finds inspiration from other local runners like Tracy Kubik with her enthusiasm, Tom Moe with his quiet, gentle support, and Joe Berry from Run Club. Now that the challenge is over though, she plans on spending more time with her family, yard work, and maybe running the Boogie the Bridge in April.

toll. With band aids covering the blisters and sore spots, her husband Brent would come home early from work to watch the kids so she could get a few more miles than Tami that day. Sometimes her son Talon would push her out the door, as he would want to go for a hike or run with mom. I had a chance to talk to Donna and here’s what she had to say... She explained that there were external and internal factors that motivated her to put so many kms in. The external factors are others in the challenge from around Ashcroft as well as the world to compete against; internal factors are what motivates you to lace up your shoes the morning after the day you just completed a 40km run.

Notice of Memorial/Celebration of Life in Honour of Rocky (Bernard) Rokstad March 20, 1924 – February 16, 2015 Rocky was born in Tromso Norway moving to the City of Vancouver BC with his parents Halfdan and Anna at 3 years of age. His family later moved to property on Otter Road, Aldergrove where he attended school at the South Otter School. Rocky was born with music in his blood, at a young age he would visit neighbours and listened to music on the radio, returning home to practice playing the harmonica and later the accordion, he eventually played up to seven instruments. The band leader with his first professional musician’s job bought him a Hohner piano style accordion. Rocky was a proficient musician who developed his own unique accordion style, he later formed a band called Rocky’s Rhythm Ramblers. This band played for many of the numerous small hall dances in the Fraser Valley and later in communities throughout BC where he lived. Rocky had an adventurous spirit. As a teenager he worked as a deckhand on a fishing trawler where he travelled from Vancouver to the QC Islands, he later tried his hand as a logger on Vancouver Island. He landed a job with the Boundary Commission surveying the International boundary between Canada and the US. He travelled to Alaska aboard the ocean liner SS Princess Louise, playing in the lounge along the way. His stint in Alaska was spent in Haines where he played in the local music hall. Upon returning to Aldergrove Rocky met the love of his life, Lillian, they married in 1948. Their 61 years together brought many life adventures in the Cariboo area of BC where most of their 9 children were born. They made their way up the Fraser Canyon where Rocky worked as a construction worker building the railway tunnels. Once in the Cariboo Rocky logged with horses and ran a small sawmill for many years until he began his career as a faller with BC Hydro survey department falling “right of way” on most major transmission lines in BC as well as constructing some of the hydro stations. When you look at seemingly impossible sites for transmission power lines Rocky has traversed most of them multiple times. Hydro re-located him to Smithers where his family lived for many years while Rocky continued to work around BC. Rocky was blessed with a long healthy life and clear mind, passing one month short of his 91st birthday. Predeceased by his wife Lillian, April 2010, Rocky is survived by his family Barb (Wilf), Gloria (Randy) Donna (Tom) Bernie (Jeanne) Vicky, Sherry (Rob) Colleen (Stubbs) Chuck (Lori) and Bonnie (Rick), 19 grandchildren & 10 great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at the Clinton Community Hall on April 4, 2015 at 2 PM followed by an afternoon gathering and later a Celebration of Life to include both live and recorded music as a fitting family tribute to Rocky in honour of his love of music. For further information please visit the facebook event “Rocky’s Celebration of Life.”

Golden Country presents

... Past, Present & Beyond The Lady on the Black Horse - Pt. 2: Going where needed When Mabel Stobart arrived in Ashcroft for the wedding of her son Lionel to Ashcroft resident Phyllis Christie in March 1914, she was already a famous woman. She had founded the Women’s Sick and Wounded Convey Corps in 1910, and in 1912 set up a makeGOLDEN COUNTRY shift hospital at the front line of the First BARBARA RODEN Balkan War, where she and her team treated some 700 soldiers. She gave a very well-received talk on the subject during her time in Ashcroft in 1914 (all proceeds went to the newly-established Lady Minto Hospital), and when she returned to her native England she might have thought that her golden years - she was then 52 - would be spent peacefully. However, the European war she had been anticipating since 1910 - when she founded the Convey Corps - broke out in August 1914; and Mabel Stobart was not a woman to sit at home and do nothing during a crisis. On Nov. 14, 1914 The Journal reported that “Mrs. Stobart of Balkan Relief fame is again to the front, and this time has opened up a hospital in Belgium for the relief of the wounded of the Allies. . . . As there will be no limit to the assistance called for in Europe during the present crisis, there is no doubt that Mrs. Stobart will ‘have her hands full’, but she has already proven herself to be a match for any emergency or any difficulty that may arise.” A local fund in support of the hospital quickly received more than $300 in donations. It’s not clear from this report whether The Journal was referring to the hospital Mabel tried to set up in Brussels in August 1914 or the one she established a few weeks later in Antwerp. The reason for her swift change in location was certainly dramatic. Mabel had been invited by the Red Cross to set up a hospital to treat sick and wounded soldiers, and she quickly recruited enough female volunteers - doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers - to staff the hospital. They arrived in the Belgian capital of Brussels on

Curling Club and Village Signing

The Clinton Curling Club and the Village of Clinton signed a Lease Agreement for the Clinton Curling Rink on March 4. The Curling Club has been operating for several years without an agreement, ever since the rink was turned over to the Village of Clinton. The agreement clearly spells out who is responsible for what. On hand for the signing were Curling Club executive Mayor Jim Rivett, CAO Tom Dall and Curling members Brenda Mc- Club executive member Brenda McKay signing Kay and Marian Nel- a lease agreement. son, Mayor Jim Rivett and Clinton CAO Tom Dall.

STRIKING A BALANCE

Clinton Health Care Auxiliary

Susan Swan

After fears that the Clinton Health Care Auxiliary may close if more members did not step up the group was relieved to have enough people come forward to fill the executive positions. At the Feb. 17 AGM, the following people were elected: Carol Higginbottom – president, Helen Prevost – vice president, Donna Walch – treasurer and Laura Paquette – secretary. More members would be welcome. This group raises funds to enhance the Clinton Regional Health and Wellness Centre, provide a bursary to a Clinton student who is pursuing an education in the medical field, donate to the Royal Inland Hospital, host the Health and Wellness Fair and much more. Projects being looked at for this year are to recover the chairs in the waiting room and provide a selfopening door for the Health Centre. Fundraising events being considered include a Yard Sale in June and a BBQ in front of the Health Centre some time during the summer. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. in the Health Centre meeting room.

Sportsmen Association Meeting

The next regular meeting of the Clinton and District Outdoor Sportsmen Association will be on Saturday, March 14 at 6:30 p.m. in the Legion basement. Membership is open to both men and women. If you would like to learn more about what this group does you are welcome to attend a meeting.

PAC Meeting

The Clinton Parent Advisory

Council (PAC0 will meet on Monday, March 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the David Stoddart School library. Every parent or guardian of a student in this school is welcome to attend. For those who may not know just what PAC is, here is the answer directly from the BC PAC website: “The School Act gives parents the right, through PACs, to assume an advisory role in every school. PAC is the officially recognized collective voice of parents of their school. A PAC, through its elected officers, may advise the school board, the principal and staff of the school respecting any matter relating to the school other than matters assigned to the School Planning Council (SPC). “PACs are forums within each school community to discuss matters affecting your school and the education of your children. Parents’ voices are a tremendous value to their school. They offer a wealth of ideas and support in the challenges that face all public schools. PACs strive to represent the diversity within their communities and contribute to the benefit of all students by providing opportunities to educate and inform parents about the school; involving parents in volunteer activities; and openly discussing parents’ concerns and aspirations for their schools.”

It was news to me

Last week a young woman living in Scotland posted a picture online of a two-tone dress the mother of her engaged friend was planning to wear to the wedding. Under the close-up photo, her caption read: “guys please help me – is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can’t

agree and we are freaking the (bleep) out.” I’m sure most of you know what happened next. The picture and question went viral to such an extent that millions of people, including celebrities, were responding on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites like Tumblr, where it was originally posted.

WEIGHT LOSS Writer/Researcher would like short interviews with anyone who has lost at least 30 lbs., and has kept lbs. off for at least 1 year.

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com It was also all over the news with many media outlets offering a polling system to tally how many people viewed the dress as white and gold, like my husband and I did, or blue and black, like our children did. The results seemed evenly split for the most part, and that’s what I noticed when I posted the picture and question on my own Facebook page. While most people seemed to be having a jolly good time weighing in with what they saw, baffled as to why we weren’t all seeing the identical colours, others were completely irritated. “Nobody cares,” “It’s ugly,” “This isn’t news,” “This is stupid,” and “Enough already” were just some of the sentiments I read re-

peatedly. Obviously the colour of the dress wasn’t the only thing people were completely divided on. The reaction to this

story becoming an internet sensation was clearly mixed. From my perspective, I saw it as an entertaining distraction from the horrifying murder and mayhem that typically dominates the news. I found it engaging because so many of us were asking the same questions. Why aren’t we all seeing the same thing? Who posted the original picture? How did it go viral so fast? Why had this type of story not exploded in

the news before? What was the actual colour of it in real life? Those answers and more can easily be found online, but in case you don’t already know, the lowdown on the latter is that the dress is blue and black. Interesting. So what else have I perceived so incorrectly? No, this was not hard hitting news. But, like most people, I welcome some enjoyment in my day and this fit in nicely. It also

MEMBERS & BONA FIDE GUESTS WELCOME

March • Week 3 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 A debate forces you to reconsider some long-held opinions. Use this time to reflect on your point of view and if there is anything you might want to change. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Life gets better and better as the week goes on, Taurus. Expect a few obstacles, but remember there’s nothing you cannot tackle, especially when you get some help. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 A situation arises at work that evokes strong emotions among your coworkers. Stay neutral on the issue until you have had enough time to gather more information. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 A recently started relationship is going great, Cancer. Now might be a great time to take the next step with your special someone. Expect this person to share your feelings. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 A rush of adrenaline this week will help you sail through any projects that need completion, Leo. Take a break every now and then so you don’t burn out. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you and a superior at work are seeing eye-to-eye this week. This could mark the beginnings of a great partnership, so continue to work hard. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you will sort out a complex problem in due time. Don’t let any initial struggles to find a solution keep you down. Continue to focus on the bigger picture. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, use this week to address an unresolved issue. Tackle every project thrown your way head-on and with vigor. Others will notice your efforts. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try not to over-think things this week. Sometimes the simplest solution to a problem is the best solution. Keep this in mind at the office. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a distraction this week proves so fascinating that you neglect other responsibilities. While you may like a challenge, don’t let it consume your life. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You yearn for privacy this week, Aquarius. Make the most of any opportunity to seek out a quiet corner and spend some time deep in reflection and thought. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Chores are completely unappealing this week, Pisces. But they must get done one way or another. Delegate some tasks.

taught me some things I didn’t know. I was intrigued to hear what my friend Susan thought, since she’s often complained about the negativity of traditional media. “If it bleeds it leads,” she’s groaned. “It’s so depressing.” I thought she’d love the lighthearted dress debate. I was wrong she was not impressed. She also disliked the extensive coverage a couple of escaped llamas in Arizona were getting at the same time. “Don’t you find them interesting or amusing?” I asked. “No,” she said. “But even if I did, llamas on the loose and hideous dresses don’t belong on the news.” I had to disagree. The public displayed tremendous interest in both of these stories. They’re a good example of how people want the serious journalism that might leave them feeling sad or angry, but they’re more likely to pass along the happy stuff. An analysis of the social share counts of over 100 million articles by Buzzsumo confirms this. The content discovery company presented the four most popular emotions invoked in viral stories as awe, laughter, amusement and joy, whereas sadness and anger were among the least popular emotions, adding up to only seven per cent. I can’t say I’m entirely okay with these statistics. Sharing information about crucial issues that require our help need to be circulated as well. Yet when we consider that the most read articles aren’t necessarily the most shared, and that we’re thoroughly inundated with tragic stories from all over the world, it’s easy to see why we’d be attracted to something positive. There needs to be a healthy balance between all types of reports, both good and bad. But much like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, news is in the mind of the observer.

Legal Notices

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Village of Clinton will hold a Public Hearing in the Municipal Council Chambers, located at 1423 Cariboo Highway in Clinton, on Wednesday March 25th, 2015 at 6:30 pm prior to the regular Council meeting for those who wish to make a presentation regarding a REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PERMIT for Lot 21 Clinton Townsite Lillooet District (1522 Cariboo Hwy). The Village of Clinton has received a request from the owner of the property located at Lot 21 Clinton Townsite Lillooet District (1522 Cariboo Hwy) near the “As the Crow Flies Country Store” to have a greenhouse located on the vacant lot. The property is currently zoned C-1 Downtown Commercial and a greenhouse is not one of the permitted uses. The owner has requested a Temporary Permit in order to determine whether a greenhouse will become a permanent service to the community. A Temporary Permit can only be issued for a two year period with the option to renew for a further two years. Should the owner wish to maintain the greenhouse on a permanent basis the zoning can be changed or the greenhouse classification could be added to the current zoning. If you deem your interests to be affected by this Temporary Permit please submit your comments in writing or attend the Public Hearing and you will be given an opportunity to be heard. If you require information regarding this Temporary Permit please contact the Village office at 250-459-2261. Tom Dall, CAO
